Bio

Based in LA: Song Writer/Co-Writer/Collaborator, Arranger, Mixing & Mastering, Music Producer, Guitar Player. 
  

Here's What I do: 

• Composing/Songwriting/Co-writing  

• Mixing/Mastering and Musical Collaboration  

• Create Instrumental tracks to support artists  

• Basic Sync Producing (Music)  

• Guitar, Bass, Virtual Instruments  
  

I've also incorporate key aspects of "Music Producer" roles - in terms of taking responsibility for creating additional tracks (instruments, additional vocals, additional or complete percussion/drums).

This is essentially combining Mixing/Mastering, Songwriting/collaboration, with arranging and creating/composing additional instrument tracks etc where needed. 

Hence supporting artists and/or collaborating/co-writing, often providing much, if not all, that they need to create finished tracks.  

Music

MIXING STUDIO:

Having been on one side of the recording studio “glass” in the past, I wanted to build the capability to produce and Mix and Master my own material. 

So, I purpose built a Mixing/Mastering Studio with correctly calibrated acoustic treatment to avoid phase and comb filtering, and developed Mix and Master skills for over a decade.

I absorbed as much as I could from people in the music industry and now draw from the combined wisdom acquired by years of trial and error.

I discovered a love for creating tracks collaborating and contributing musically with artists and Producers. 

I've found actually being musical is a huge advantage, vs people who are purely technical but don't have a musical ear.
 

SOUND PRODUCTION:

My aim is to collaboratively help others to create the best music that is in them: I mix, master, create music to accompany and enhance existing works, co-write and write/compose, play guitar, and in essence produce. 

VOCALS: 

I spend a lot of time working with artists to help them achieve outstanding vocal performances, and then take great care to mix tracks paying exacting attention to detail to the lead vocals to make them the best they can be . It’s AMAZING just how good a vocal can sound when it’s enhanced the right way. 

MUSIC CREATION: 

• I specialize in Guitar, and can also create bass pieces and keyboard pieces. 

• I have extensive high-end sample libraries to cover a broad range of instruments from just about every genre there is, including Orchestral pieces (Strings, Brass, Woodwind, Percussion), jazz, folk, Pop, Soul, etc etc. 

• Authentic sounding drum/percussion pieces can be created where needed. 

Drums and Percussion: I have an extensive set of unquantized grooves and can fashion them into a unique groove to match a piece.

Most listeners would swear they are real, and in essence they are - they are immaculately recorded kit pieces with many velocity layers and articulations.

Often I actually replace drum/percussion kit piece mix tracks capturing the player's nuances, and transfer this expression into high end sounding kit pieces.

CURRENT FOCUS:

While songwriting can be aimed at music charts, I'm finding much of my time is aimed for the "Sync" market (TV, Films, Commercials, Music Library themes etc).
 

BACKGROUND: 

I was born in Sydney Australia, grew up in Melbourne Australia, and have been living in the US since 2007. My wife is from the States, and we now live happily in LA.
